A place for Ryan
I just donated $20 towards making South Carolina less embarrassing
You can too - here's the link: http://tinyurl.com/n4nthn
Joe Wilson is the SC Representative who barked "you lie!" during Obama's recent speech on health care. Now he's got a video on YouTube in which he promises he "won't be muzzled".
Rob Miller is an Iraq war veteran and South Carolina Democrat, and last year he won 46% of the vote against Wilson despite raising half as much money. He's running again, and I'd like to see him give Joe Wilson a thumping.
So would some Republicans, like political ad-man Mark McKinnon, who wrote:
Make Joe Wilson pay. And by pay, I mean beat his sorry ass at the polls and send him to the private sector. I’m a Republican, but I’d rather have a Democrat in Congress who I may disagree with but who has some fundamental character and decency which Wilson clearly lacks.
There's a push on now to raise $750,000 for Rob Miller in 2 days - I hope you'll donate as well.

The Schvitz
"These days The Schvitz is a steam room / bar / restaurant / private club for men. Membership is informal, one just needs to go with a member and pay a nominal fee. Now I know what you are thinking, but its not that kind of place. The Schvitz is as old school as it gets."
I am so there as soon as the temperature falls below 50...
Hubby Hubby from Ben & Jerry's
On the first of this month, gay and lesbian couples across the state of Vermont gained the legal right of marriage. By way of celebration, iconic Vermont ice cream maker Ben & Jerry's has renamed its well-known Chubby Hubbyice cream Hubby Hubby. The peanut butter cookie dough (with fudge and pretzels) ice cream will be served in Ben & Jerry's scoop shops throughout this month, a gesture that sees Ben & Jerry's partner with marriage equality groupFreedom to Marry. The two partners are also publicly supporting the first gay and lesbian marriages to happen in the state, and aiming to encourage other US states to follow in the footsteps of Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, and Maine, down the aisle to marriage equality.
Schwabl's
On the way to the finger lakes we stopped at Schwabl's, Buffalo's home of the Beef on Weck sandwich.
It's an awesome place. I really wish I could say the same thing about the sandwich, but it was unimpressive.
